An EP about paths, places and memories.
Four tracks between dub and jungle, produced in Vienna, Berlin and São Paulo - that's SP-55.

Inspired by a trip along the coastal road of the same name to Ilhabela, captured in music and artwork. The cover was designed by Zip's sister - based on a trip with our friend @gueto1, who took us there.

Originally released in Germany in 1986 and without any intro, hence the little edit

Rough translation of the lyrics:

Hello Carl, how are you?
Thank you, I am fine, I’ve just joined a new company which gives me renewed strength,

Staff work like crazy, I bag all the money, just take it easy, let work be work,
Now I’ll fly to Paraguay, bring the millions with me, there I’ll buy a plot of land, I’m a big hit,

I won’t pay no more taxes, that’s just stupid to me, I’ll travel around the world, I won’t lift a finger,

1, 2, 10 workers, me on the career ladder, on first name terms with politicians,
Corruption, corruption, corruption is meant to be a part of it

1, 2, 10 million, the tax authorities will leave me alone because I create jobs and secretly laugh about government subsidies.

#26 and its another favorite of ours, the wicked @clicklounge

Clicklounge is best known for his involvement in the reputable Opium Club, where he is regularly found both behind the decks and in the background curating their wicked lineups.

We've been tuning into his mixes for a long while now and have always been blown away by his ability to craft together such a unique atmosphere regardless of genre. 

For this mix we asked Clicklounge to show the darker, trippier side to his collection and the result is wicked. Hazey mid tempo burners that all come together to create a ceremony we want to be front and centre at.

There is definitely something "afro" inspired about this latest EP from Puma & The Dolphin, certainly in comparison to pretty much everything else the mysterious Bulgarian project has produced, including a great EP for Canadian imprint Chambre Noire and some stellar inclusions on every one of Dj soFa's highly respected "Elsewhere" compilations. 

The story goes that while immersed in domestic life during lockdown in Sofia the music evolved to take in what was happening at home and saw the inclusion of toy instruments, drum playing, the voices of children playing and even the family parrots whistling and squawking in the background. These random ambient insertions when seen in the context of the hypnotic and percussive rhythms and timbres are oddly reminiscent of the late, great Francis Bebey who, although culturally and physically a million miles removed, was also known for recording much of his work at home and who also featured the voices of his children playing. 

In fact, it is as much the music's playfulness and simplicity that give the pieces their distinctive character, at times echoing the repetition and mesmerism of Raymond Scott's "Soothing Sounds For Baby" series. Yet, childrens' music this is not. There is a mysticism and depth on one hand and a willingness to experiment on the other that echoes the pioneering experimentalist K. Leimer's early Eno-inspired tape outings (check "Supermarket" for example). 

I asked Puma & The Dolphin's Nikko Names if he could share the story behind how these six tracks came together. He had this to say: 

"This collection of pieces were created during a monotone period of my life which I have overlaid with colour: a time in which I surrender to the beauty of home life - watching my kids play, feeding the birds - entwining these sounds of my surroundings amongst the rhythmic layers of these pieces. Playing the drums to remind us of the next circle dance for four. There is something mystic to travel only in your head; a shamanic trip inside the body with no concepts and answers."

"Back in March Komodo Kolektif were asked for a track for the second volume of the wonderful Bamboo Shows cassette series. 

Two takes were recorded just before we went into complete lockdown. One was rawer whereas the other was developed and refined up until the point we were no longer able to meet up and work with one another due to the restrictions. 

In the end the track chosen for Bamboo Shows was the rawer one, so here, for the first time...and exclusively availabale on bandcamp....is the version that got developed..... and then forgotten, along with the version that appeared on Bamboo Shows. 

We hope you like both.
